First of all Thanks for sharing the link...

You know Aamir Khan is only one person. But being a huge Bollywood Star...he carries a lot of clout. His being able to bring forth an issue plaguing our society in one episode of Satyamev Jayate has been able to do what a lot of activists have toiled to do for many years...More power to him.

But his focus is not solely going to be on female foeticide or any other issue..I don't think that was the purpose of this show.

Rather I think what he's trying to do is start a movement, if you will, of changing the way people think...that is...rather than living your lives as passers-by...everyone should look around them, see what is wrong, give voice to it and try and fix it.

He's planting the seeds...it's up to the public to come together, water and cultivate them...because in the end we'll all benefit from the harvest...or suffer from our indifference.

I totally agree with you.The people cannot sit back and expect miracles too.Amir Khan is the catalyst and now the oneness is on the people to work hard to maintain the tempo and constantly keep checks and balances and question the authorities when things go out of control.I am sure if their is a will the system will get cleansed with all the toxicity and the malice .
